Re: Storing whiskey

I left a bottle of WLW on its side for about 14 hours once. When I came back to it, the wooden top that holds the cork had completely warped, and whiskey had started leaking out of the bottle. I cringe when liquor store clerks retrieve a bottle for me and walk around with it upside down. I won't even let a corked bottle lay on its side in the car as I'm driving home. The only bottles I let sit on their side are those with screw caps, but even with those, only temporarily.
